You can tell when someone’s life has been changed and how big of an impact exercise has had on their life by how much they talk about it.

You don’t need to look any further than your Facebook feed either. We all have at least one friend who went from posting about weekly wine nights, hangover pho dates and Netflix binges to back squats, weight loss and the latest gym challenge.

Exercise even saves lives.

So many of your health problems will improve or even disappear as the result of a consistent exercise program. With as little as 30 minutes a day 3 days a week you could reap the rewards of a healthier life.

2. No more Pain: Over time my clients notice a reduction in aches and pains. Chronic muscle and joint pain that they’ve lived with for years begins to fade. For some, joint replacement surgery is postponed. For others, arthritis pain is reduced.

Your muscles and joints feel better than ever and you are able to do what you want each day and that’s empowering to people who have given up hobbies due to poor health.

3. Eliminate Heart Disease: While clients can’t feel this healing benefit of exercise the same way they feel the post workout endorphin boost, it is the one that saves lives. Exercise removes two of the major risk factors that lead to heart disease:
